The Container Store

I have heard of this as the top 100 places to work and seen it from the freeway for years and FINALLY went in after realizing that that one table with EVERYTHING hiding under it because it has a tablecloth, seriously needed some organizing!
Happy to say that by using the website and ordering and then visiting the store, I ended up getting everything I needed.
I had a pretty complex check out where I returned some things I ordered online and bought other stuff I found while in the store and the people made it easy for me.
Prices are good and choices are plentiful.
I really like this store!
TIP: Closet issues? It was a bonus to see all their hanger and closet organizing solutions. I ended up making a purchase for that personally as well.

Great store, but the ELFA system is not 100% reliable. Anything moderately weighty causes the drawer slides to pop out.

I don’t come here too often but when I do I walk every square inch of this store! It gives me great ideas on how to organize any part of my home! Even areas I would have never thought of which is my favorite! There bags have a slogan on them and it couldn’t be more true «contain yourself» it’s exactly what I have to keep reminding myself, I could buy everything in sight!

Like many women, I’m a sucker for organization and this is the place to come to. Since San Diego still doesn’t have a Muji store, this is the second best thing for an organizing addict (not that I’m complaining). If you have a good sized makeup collection, come here! They have such a wide array of acrylic organizers to choose from. Acrylic organizers aren’t exactly cheap, but they look nice and it allows you to see what you have in your collection. They also sell a terrific acrylic container cleanser that’s definitely worth picking up!
Apart from my love for acrylic containers, there’s also a great selection of office supplies and kitchen items. You also have so many things to make chores so much better like the mesh bags for bras.
Another thing that I love is their reward program which I recently discovered thanks to a very persistent employee who talked me into signing up. Thanks to him I have three different coupons in my account ready for me to spend more money in the store. Once again, I’m not going to complain because I love saving money while buying things that I need.

This store has the cutest things! Stopped by last month and found a dog treat shooter for just $ 10. If you like wacky and uncommon items, you should visit here.

The Container Store is conveniently located right off the 163 south. It’s in Fashion Valley Mall. They have some of the prettiest gift wrapping I’ve ever seen! They have their Christmas wrapping displays out now, and I really like it. A couple of their employees had a free demonstration of how you can make your own fancy bows.
This is the place to go if you need just about any kind of storage containers and ideas for organizing. Great selection!

This store is located in Fashion Valley Mall, near Cheesecake Factory (that’s a landmark)…and is a free standing store in the Easternmost area of the mall. It’s directly adjacent to PF Changs.
This store has tons of staples for organizing your rooms, and some high-​end items as well. It’s a really huge store, with spacious aisles.
I bought a clear plastic make-​up organizer, which is small, fits on my vanity, and is modern looking and functional. It fits all my stuff for now.
I also recently bought a high-​end «Simplehuman» kitchen trash can. It’s really sturdy. They have almost a whole aisle dedicated to trash cans for anything you can think of for indoors.
I also saw lots of other interesting and also decorative things, and will go back from time to time, because their stock changes seasonally.
There is a rewards program you can sign up for, too. The staff are all friendly, helpful and earnest. They are usually not extremely busy.
Check them out!

*This* place epitomizes excellent customer service. Each of my experiences has been consistently positive and I have found all staff to be professional, attentive, responsive and friendly in a way that is nothing like the false and chirpy knee-​jerk stuff that happens when I walk in the door at other places. I have the feeling that there is an ethos of professional customer service that seems to be high on the list of priorities. Plus this is a fabulous place to get ideas and systems for organization if you are looking to make the most of a small space… which I am, so The Container Store has been a life-saver…or at least a space-​saver!

This place is really cool. I love just about everything they sell here cause it’s so simple yet so great! From office furniture, kitchen and bathroom storage, they have so much here! It gets a bit pricey, but honestly, on the right days, you can find some great deals too. Amy is my favorite employee to work with when I’m here.

Tonight, my wife and I had the greatest experience at The Container Store! Every single employee was extremely knowledgable and very friendly. Some of the employees that gave us such a great experience include Joan, Bridget, and Skyler. Thank you again for all of your help!

I could spend hours in this store. Everything you ever need to organize is there. 1 star off for the relatively high price. However, I signed up for the mailing list and got some discount occasionally. It is not that bad.

*** true story***
I really enjoyed the store, lots of solutions for quite a few needs. I went to pay for my items with cash, and they didn’t have any cash in the register so they couldn’t give me change for the items that I bought. I stood by for five minutes while the manager had to come up to the register listen to the situation and then go get cash. That’s after all the other nearby employees also checked the registers for some cash and none of them had change they could give me. True story. Horrific customer service, will likely not go back. Btw, this is for purchase under $ 20.

Thats my disneyland. If you need and love to be organized you will fall in love here. Their team is always ready to help and they are even conscious with the check out always making sure you dont stay in long lines. I just bought that hangers with type of velvet and they are amazing. I also organized my kitchen drawers with their acrylic divisions, its simply perfect.

This store makes me step up my organization! Seriously. I come in here, and I want to alphabetize my shoes by brand all the way to labeling my closet. It may sound deranged. But, the stores goal is to organize you starting from your office all the way to your closet and beyond. I appreciate the concept of this store.
I have bought file Bigso Bright Stockholm Desktop file. Originally $ 19.99 on sale for $ 15.99. I felt like I need to stock up on these. So I bought 3. Yes. My OCD kicked in hard.
Every time I am in here. The staff is always friendly, and wants to help. I had a dilemma with how to make the office space in my bedroom more functional. They were very helpful in providing solutions on a budget. And that is what makes me return over and over.
Although I did not alphabetize my shoes by brand name. They are color coded!
Thank you, for making me step up my game in how I organize my life.

What I like about the Container Store is that it’s a great example of how a business should be ran. Yeah, they specialize in selling containers in a country where there is a lot of competition and more convenient places to get such items. However, the selection is fantastic. Prices range from affordable to the absurd but the quality is great all around. The best part about this location though is the service. Above all, they are friendly, approachable and professional. It is one of the few places where each employee I made eye contact with at least generated some sort of acknowledgement, like a smile or wave. It is the biggest reason I suggest shopping here and don’t mind paying extra. The only thing I would like to see more of are color options. This is a specialty store so multiple colors of what I’m looking for should be available, which they weren’t. Overall, I really like The Container Store. If you need any sort of storage items for your household, I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

If you’re here, you can step back out the door now, and be thankful. It was crowded (A good sign), parking lot was full (not their fault), and the store was well stocked (a good thing).
However, the staff was nearly non-​existent and seemingly focused on everything but the customers.
Prices were high ~ especially when there are equivalents available at other stores for a lower price. Not «equivalents» in the context of cheaper made things at a lower price, but in the context of equal quality at lower prices.
They have a large quantity of sizes and colors. But you can do better at other stores.

I have not been here in years! I forgot how expensive it is! LOL. but I LOVE this store. It has everything you can possibly think of. Before coming here, I of course «Pinned» a lot of different way to organize my shoes and jewelry. I was overwhelmed by the ideas and containers they carried.
This store is awesome, but just a little to pricey for me.

Do you love color coding? Does your OCD make you want to find a place for everything and label it? Then go to the Container Store and bring your wallet!
This place has everything, and I do mean everything, you ever wanted or didn’t know existed. Whatever you need to organize, they can make it happen.
The staff here was super friendly and helpful and not surprisingly the store is well organized. They also carry some great travel accessories and a number of seasonal items such as gift wrap. The prices are not cheap, but who can put a price on a little bit of OCD sanity? Even if you can’t afford to buy everything your heart desires, you’ll walk away with plenty of great ideas. I now want to reorganize pretty much everything I own.

I just moved into the most adorable conveniently located condo ever… it is however… miniscule. I mean tiny. I can barely stuff the BF in here and my shoes?! Don’t even get me started. Organization is going to be key to survival here. I needed tubs, I needed containers, I need tiny boxes with individual sections: there was only one place to go! I took my my tape measure and jotted down deets for what I needed to fit where, then tally ho! Off to Mission Valley to the container store.
Overwhelming! Expensive! They knew I needed those containers and that once they got an OCD lady like myself in the door they could charge whatever they like… and they do, they do. I find it hard to believe that the mark up here isn’t excruciating and inflated. It’s plastic, like a ton of plastic. I’m sure it’s made overseas and could be sold for much less (a la ikea) then the goo gobs of monies I paid for my purchases. Once I was there and after moving all weekend I couldn’t care less, I would have given my first born to be able to walk from my kitchen to the bedroom without tripping over crap-​Take it ALLLLLL Container Store!
Stars for them being helpful, for having measurements on every price tag, and for the selection-​it is indeed glorious. Bring your moola, and maybe your frugal sanity. I had one at this point, and not the other.

Never fear small rooms, inadequate closets, or lackluster storage ever again. I have the tiniest bathroom known to man, with one big mirror and no medicine cabinet. Off to the Container Store I went, to create a «floating medicine cabinet» for the tiny piece of wall next to the door. Basically i needed inspiration on how to get all my little bathroom items I use everyday up off the limited counterspace and somehow onto the wall. Oh yeah, and in a way that doesn’t look horrendous, and won’t cost me more than maybe 40 bucks.
I decided to hang floating cubes because they’re smaller than shelves, and pick up some small clear containers from Container Store to hold all my hair accessories, cotton balls, Qtips, flossing & whitening accoutrement for my teeth… You get the idea. And behold, a masterpiece. (See pic!) If you want to actually utilize every inch of your tiny space, the Container Store will give you great ideas and provide the materials to make it happen! PS I have always had superb customer service when I am in the store, even the last time I went, covered in drywall shavings and looking like a bum. I told the checkout lady all about my «floating medicine cabinet» idea because she asked :) They genuinely want you satisfied with what you buy from them!
